First time poster getting an 06 ss monte Hey guys im getting an 06 monte carlo ss today it is used with 108k miles and i will be doing all of the preventive maintenance for it just wondering what mods i should do first besides the tranny cooler which will get done very soon after i get some money put aside? and just wondering general things to watch out for in these cars. not used to have a fwd vehicle but at this moment this car looked very good. Ill be posting pics up as soon as i get it home and get everything done to it i can.

Congrats man!!! and Welcome!!
save up for the tranny if it's the original one, like the others have said... and you'll want to replace the plugs and wires if they haven't been yet...
and honestly, i'm not a firm believer in a tranny cooler making a difference... I don't have the additional tranny cooler on mine and I had my original stock tranny til about 100,000 miles, and I don't baby the car either...

after 3hours of reading through threads this has just made me not want to buy one of these. I already have a 06' GTO that eating up all my money. Was going to buy one of these for a DD. It's a shame that you guys have had all these trans issues because I was really looking into buy one in a few weeks.

2. After that your left with one of the best DD on the road.
1. Fact. 2. Maybe opinion?

Having a GTO myself, I have the GXP as a DD and at 102k, the tranny was changed at 60k and it still feels good. Even if it were to go, you upgrade the internals and you are golden. The engine is bullet-proof and the car looks bad azz. Its a good compliment to the GTO.
